A man is taking Apple to court over potential hearing loss because of the Apple iPod

Apple Computer Inc. is being sued by a Louisiana man who claims the Apple iPod can cause hearing loss in people who use the popular MP3 player. The person who filed the suit, John Kiel Patterson, wants the case to be a class-action lawsuit that will force Apple to make upgrades to future models of the MP3 player.

According to part of the complaint, the iPods are "inherently defective in design and are not sufficiently adorned with adequate warnings regarding the likelihood of hearing loss." Each iPod already ships with a warning label declaring that high volume can result in a loss of hearing, but to many that just isn't good enough. In France, for example, all new iPods have limiting software inside the unit to govern the volume below 100 decibels -- the current models in the US can reach upwards of 125 decibels.

NVIDIA releases a GPU for those still "limping around" with an AGP-based system

With the proliferation of PCI-E based video cards and motherboards, owners of AGP based systems may feel left out in the cold. We have seen recently that Sapphire feels the pain of these users and has released its AGP based X1600 Pro graphics card.

NVIDIA is also looking out for the little guy with the release of the 7800 GS AGP. The 7800 GS AGP is built on a .11 micron process, features 16 pixel pipelines, six vertex shaders, a core clock of 375MHz and 256MB of RAM running at 1.2GHz.[Submitted by Kcarrim]
